Where did the word "Scouser" come from? (FACT FREDAG)

[@wesmatron]

I bet most people in Liverpool know about where the name Scouser comes from.

I bet they don't, ask them :)

I’m from Liverpool and I knew lobscouse came from the Scandinavian sailors. There’s also a German version called labskaus.

@@BeingSwenglish Some of my family are Scouse. They ALL know. I'm not from Liverpool.... I knew! LOL

@@wesmatron ah fair enough, I guess most 'Brits' don't know then hehe

[@annicaesplund6613]

It's from the Baltic sailors originally and spread from there. Typical seafare. In Swedish Lapskojs, in English Lobscouse.

There's mixed views on its origin, neither you or I really know, but the Norwegian historical story is the most favoured one! Thanks for the comment!
